背景资料：心外膜脂肪组织（EAT）是否与心房颤动（AF）和房颤导管消融（CA）后的结果独立相关尚不清楚。在320排多层螺旋CT上测量了40例房颤患者的总EAT和左心房周围EAT（LA-EAT）（阵发性AF [PAF]，n=24;持续性AF [PerAF]，n=16）接受CA的患者，以及37例年龄匹配的对照患者。对照组、PAF组和PerAF组患者的EAT体积如下：总EAT，138.3 +/- 45.2 cm（3）vs. 158.3 +/- 47.2 cm（3）vs. 226.4 +/- 93.3 cm（3）（P
Background: Whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is independently associated With atrial fibrillation (AF) and outcome after catheter ablation (CA) for AF remains unclear.Methods and Results: Three-dimensional volume-rendering reconstructed images of EAT (total EAT) and EAT surrounding the left atrium (LA-EAT) were measured on 320-row multidetector computed tomography in 40 patients with AF (paroxysmal AF [PAF], n=24; persistent AF [PerAF], n=16) who underwent CA, and in 37 age-matched control patients. EAT volumes were as follows for the control, PAF and PerAF patients: total EAT, 138.3 +/- 45.2 cm(3) vs. 158.3 +/- 47.2 cm(3) vs. 226.4 +/- 93.3 cm(3) (P
